Can you help identify this wire and what circuit it goes to

Hi guys - hope Monday is off to a good start for everyone. I feel like even more of a dope than usual but I can't seem to track down what circuit this wire is for.

It is loose at this point. What color would call this?

Blue/white high beam is the likely suspect.

Thanks guys - part of the confusion is that looks blue/light blue to me which I couldn't find on the wiring schematics or searching.

From Proposche's link there is a picture of it being connected to a grey (gray) wire power source which I believe is a parking light.

(Hi Dennis!)

Oh geez - I am a dope. I posted the wrong picture.

Got that blue one sorted, it is headlights.

I was actually trying to ask abut a white/blue. Sorry!

EDIT - looks like a high beam indicator light powered off the left side high beam from the fused side of the fuse box?

Thanks Dennis-I remind myself of the blind squirrel / acorn thing at times.

It would make sense that the highbeam indicator would be picked up on the fused side of the white high beam power source fuse, correct?

You need to clean those fuse terminals.
Little wire wheel on a Dremel works wonders.

You bet it would, You wouldn't want a shorted bulb housing or wire to take out all of the lighting circuit!
